Carlo Ancelotti has responded to the possibility of Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid in January amid ongoing speculation surrounding the Frenchman’s future at Paris Saint-Germain .
Ancelotti’s side achieved qualification at the knockout stages of the Champions League after a 1-1 draw to Shakhtar Donetsk secured their place at the top of Group F. Antonio Rudiger sealed their qualification with a 95th-minute equalizer at the Polish Army Stadium.
However, the Spanish side’s impressive form and accomplishment were not the reason they were a major talking point yesterday, as Kylian Mbappe is being linked to the club again. News broke last night of the 23-year-old’s desire to leave PSG and low morals at the club.
Mbappe signed a lucrative new deal with PSG in May that saw him receive a significant wage increase as well as hold a higher role than his teammates at the club. He was promised to say in important club decisions, including managers and transfers of players.
According to Julien Laurens , the forward now feels as though he has been “betrayed” by his club, as they have failed to follow through with the agreements made – one being that PSG would oversee the transfer of Neymar.
When asked about the possibility of the Parisian moving to Madrid, Ancelotti smiled and replied: “Kylian Mbappe in January? I don’t have to answer.
“You have the courage to ask that? I won’t answer.”
